On behalf of everyone at Brownstown Speedway, I want to thank each and every one of you that came out and caught the show tonight. I hope everything was satisfactory and everyone enjoyed themselves this evening. We played a guessing game with the weather. The jail called and told us there was weather in the area, so we decided to go a little lighter on the water after the Sprint Heats than we wanted. We figured the turns were ok, and the moisture came back up and provided for a great set of heats and a great feature event. The wind killed us as far as the dust went. For that I apologize. Sitting in the grandstands during the feature, I saw how difficult it was to see some of the action.

Another big thank you goes out to the USAC crew for being very courteous and helpful. From Mr. Staab, to Bill, Sandy, Kleptomaniac, Tom Hansing, and the entire USAC crew. Couldnt work with a nicer bunch of people.

Also want to thank the UMRA crew for their action as well. The use of the racecivers sped things up a little bit, which helped a bunch.

Hopefully this points towards bigger and better things as far as Sprint Cars go at Brownstown, and next time we will try to keep Mother Nature out of the equation.

On a closing note, the members that post here are second to none. They may blow you some steam on the boards, but when it comes time to talk and shoot the breeze, you wont find a better group of people. It was great meeting Danny Burton, Jerry Shaw, Andrew Quinn, Keith Wendel, Dwight Clock, David Lynch, Devin Fairchild, Jackslash, and a host of others.

Sincerely,

Chris Nunn
Brownstown Speedway

We also had a great time & will return the next time sprints are there. Kudo's to all that helped get that race in. :respect:

Although I didn't attend because my son was completely in favor of staying together with his friends and playing, instead of going to the races, I think your message thread and the descriptions of the jaw-dropping action that I heard first hand accounts of is one heck of a great statement as to the fan-first consideration that the Brownstown staff showed Saturday night.
My hats off to all involved. The accounts I heard (this is a direct quote) : "The greatest set of heat races I have ever seen anywhere!"--and this is coming from a stalwart CRA spectator, where they know great heats from just good.
Next time I'll have to yank my son away from his friends, or just bring all of them to the track like my dad used to do. I'm truly glad that those that attended were treated to such action, and no premature cancellation robbed the faithful or the deserving track management.

Two days have past since this event and Chris received 4 posts. The last couple of lines kinda sums thing up."they will blow you some steam". Where the hell are all the posts when things go well at an event? One thing for sure, if something went wrong ( or some "expert" feels something went wrong) there would be 80-100 replys?

I posted my comments on the Brownstown Update thread like many others did. I guess I am guilt of not following instructions.:O: Sorry.

Unfortunately, this place has become a haven for discontent and discord. Very rarely do you see anything positive here. In fact, we can reference your post the other day that was so completely negative about the event even having a chance to be successful in the first place as a glaring example (that can be seen here http://indianaopenwheel.com/vmessage...?t=5205&page=2). Too many people use this place to ***** and moan, and quite often about things they know nothing about. That's why you aren't seeing the glowing posts that should be forthcoming. This place isn't a sanctuary, used for the promotion of good will and promise of our sport, it's here to wield as a tool to tear it down and make a mockery of our favorite pasttime! That's what many of you use it for and you damn well know it! Now, that said...

Truth be told, the Brownstown event was a very good event. The heats were among the best I have ever seen, with three and four wide racing throughout much of the prelims. Even when the track went away for the semi and feature, there was still good racing action going on. With the exception of the cold wind and the dust that kicked up, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and the staff and management of both Brownstown Speedway, as well as the United States Auto Club are to be commended on their efforts in putting on a good show for the fans. It was a quick, well run show with good racing action throughout the night.

Now ossuks, here's a challenge for you. Let's see you write some positive things for a change. I mean, even what you wrote here in this thread is a complaint. Life isn't all bad, ya know...

The three of us really enjoyed the races and will definitely return when the sprints run again. Congratulations on a well run program.
